Review: Bulletproof by Maci Bookout

Bulletproof by Maci BookoutPublisher: Post Hill PressRelease Date: July 21, 2015Book Format: Hardcover# of Pages: 188Synopsis: Maci Bookout was just a
normal, slightly overachieving high school girl in Chattanooga,
Tennessee. But then she got pregnant, and everything turned upside down.
Even as she rose to fame on MTV's hit series Teen Mom, Maci was
struggling to balance life as a single teen mom with her own hopes and
dreams...all while honoring her own sense of independence. This is
the true story of how she took charge of the unexpected to build a life
for herself and her son Bentley, and managed not to go crazy in the
process. Because sometimes growing up is an act of will...and Maci's
will is bulletproof.

My Review:

I borrowed Bulletproof by Maci Bookout from work and this is my honest review.

I
have been watching 16 & Pregnant as well as all of the different
Teen Mom shows that were out there. A lot of people I knew always put
this show down. Many people said these girls just wanted attention and
they were really horrible people. Hearing people say this about these
shows always shocked me and made me feel uncomfortable about admitting
that I watched every single episode of every single season. But those
were the old days, now I am completely comfortable admitting that I
watch all of these shows.

To be completely honest, I started
watching back in high school because I thought it was a good idea. I
figured it would be a good way to make sure at least I never became a
teen mom. Not that I had many boyfriends in high school but watching the
show ensured that I was more responsible than I already thought I was.
Watching these girls get pregnant at a young age, and struggle through
their lives with new babies, and schools, and jobs really opened my eyes
at such a young age. I was very inspired by each and every one of these
girls for different reasons.

Anyways lets get to Maci's story
at hand. Out of all the girls I watched on TV Maci has by far always
been one of my favorites. I loved how much of a good mom she was to
Bentley no matter how hard it was to get pregnant and have a baby at
such a young age. She was responsible enough to finish high school
before she even had Bentley. As well as getting jobs here and there and
going to school on and off until she finally graduated college recently.
Her graduating really inspired me to work hard at school even though I
do not have a baby.

I am so glad I got to read her story. From
falling in love with Ryan all the way to falling in love with Taylor and
having Jayde. I feel even more connected to her more now after reading
her story then just after seeing it on TV. Definitely give this a read,
its really inspiring.
